Ah.  That will make them harder to find...  Do you happen to have a
link handy?  If not I can search, of course...

Heh.

Yes, but these days it's been pretty busy, with all the changes you've
checked in, even without those threads.  A lot of this stuff could be
considered relatively low priority, which a lot of people might not
care about.  But security bugs are always higher priority, and perhaps
some people who might not care about the dev process overall might be
interested in security-related issues.  It was just a thought...  If
nothing else, perhaps those handling bug reports could add "SECURITY"
to the subject line, to make them easy to filter on?

OK, I've caused enough damage for one day.  Back to my
regularly-scheduled drudgery...  :)
